Casino operator Wynn Macau Ltd. is moving around some of its tables in Macau to make for the dismal number of gaming tables allocated to its soon-to-open Wynn Palace resort in Cotai.
Last week, the $4 billion integrated resort received word that it has been authorized to run 100 new-to-market gaming tables for its opening on August 22, while the other 50 gaming tables will be added in the following two years. The new casino resort has also been allowed to operate 1,145 slot machines.
This number, however, is just slightly over one-third of the 400 new gaming tables that Wynn Macau had applied for. And so to make up for it, the casino operator is relocating some of the tables from its other Macau property.
Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed Wynn Macau announced in a filing on Monday that it will transfer “approximately 250 tables from Wynn Macau to Wynn Palace, bringing [the] total table games at Wynn Palace to approximately 350 and total table games at Wynn Macau to approximately 270.”
